Sorry for the confussion, I did not create any of those communities. I’m just trying to help them grow. I will edit the post to make it clearer.

I’m subscribed to specialized_instances, I think it’s a great idea for a community, although I expect it to be more relevant on the long term.

Thanks!

Then I will include them on my watchlist and will try to post at least from time to time.

As I said in other comments, thanks to all of you who create and moderate communities. For now, I’m just trying to generate content, which I know is the easier part.

Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.

More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

If that’s not the case, then more props to you!

Posted one on each community, good luck!

Indeed, you’re doing a great job, thanks for the efforts!

I’ve been seeing Imaginary Network’s posts on my timeline. I thought about including them in the OP, but you look a bit more organized than the usual small subs, so I chose to focus on other parts.

That may be a good idea. The 3 communities I found relevant to crosspost this are:

• !fediverse@lemmy.world
• !fediverse@kbin.social: only 2 votes, no comments.
• !newcommunities@lemmy.world: this one

In case it helps: IMHO the hard part of !shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world is that is an all-or-nothing regarding if you get the joke.

Note that the communities I listed on OP have content that can be enjoyed without any previous reference. Of course, the more you know about any topic, the more you will get from the posts, but I think that for the short term, it’s good to focus on things that people can vote because “they look pretty” even if they don’t understand the context.

You are probably right on your pessimism. Growing communities is hard. That’s why I’m trying to focus the efforts in a few, but more than 1 community. Which community will succeed in the long term is impossible to predict, so I think it’s better to just keep trying with different ones.

I find !shittymoviedetails@lemmy.world a very good attempt. If I get it correctly, is like fakehistoryporn but for movies, right? I think that’s the kind of niche-but-not-too-niche topic that could work. I’m not very familiar with the format but I will keep it in mind in case I find something worth posting.

Thanks for the efforts and the feedback!

Posted one there!… I hope Bakshi is not too hated :P.

Good luck!

Sadly, I don’t have much to contribute to these communities, but I will post if I find something relevant.
